On your behalf, we will send a thank-you letter to the donor who contributed to your award, letting them know the impact that the award has had in your life. If you have received more than one award, you will need to write a separate thank you letter for each award. Some awards have more than one donor, so you will need to write a separate letter for each donor.

If you have received an award, visit Student Awards and Financial Aid to submit your thank-you letter online using the Awards Confirmation link. Once you have submitted your thank-you letter online, Student Awards and Financial Aid will release the funds to you. Prepare your thank you letter as a Word document and save it as a pdf before you submit it online. Be sure to save your file as the name of the scholarship.
